"But the trouble isI when a child first begins to do wrongi especially wheu he means and plans to do it, it is almost next to impossible to get back into the right path againi And the truth is, atyoung man, when little boy, all at once made up hiS mind after havinga long, happy vaca4 tion, that he wouldn't study any mora nor behave well in school. So he would start out in the morning nicely dress. ed, well fed, and with his mother'4 fond kiss on his cheek; then he would enter the school room and eat peanuta he had already shelled, and when the teacher wasn't looking he would do q great many things to make the othet children laugh, and finally he acted so badly that the teacher had to send him home"
 "Why. Tommy Jenkinsi' cried Su sic, interrupting her mamma at these familiar words, ''those are the very things you said you meant to do when you went back to school!' Susie'i amazement at the outcome of the little story got the better of her usual habit of shielding Tommy's faults.
 Poor Tommy! His face had beeu growing very red, his chest was swell@ ing and his breath coming very quickly at the last part of the story, but when his papa slowly lowered his paper from his face, and said in a surprised. grieved tone: "Why, my little sonp' it was altogether too much. Down went Tommy's fair little head into his mammals lap, and for few minutes the sound of his crying was all that was heard in the room.
 Susie was all pity and repentance. and tried her best to tell how sorry she was that she had ''told on him." But after a time Tommy's sobs ceased and he became very quiet. Papa and nam. ma began talking about some othet little matters, then mamma said it was bedtime. At this, Tommy raised his head and said, in low, resolute voicei

I ain't goin' to grow up not to have any home and no friends, or moi to know how to do things real proper. l really did mean to be bad boy for a little while, but if it's so hard to get good again, l just ain't goin' to make my papa and mamma 'shamed and spoil myself, all for bein' badr'
 And Tommy went back to school with such good resolutions that one day, when the teacher met his mamma. he said Tommy was one of his best scholars, and if he went on as he had begun he would soon be at the head oi his division.

can banks have but if he grves away too much either by wrong count or through mistake in the denomina- lions he can usually locate his error at the close of the day and gener ally recover the money.
 It must not be inferred from this reference to errors that they are fre- quent. On the contrary. Nor are they always paid for by the teller when they do occur. A teller who made ''short' and paid it out of his own pocket without reporting it would be infringing the rules. He may mad vertently be cloaking an office thief by doing so. But although he does not always pay for his own losses they ap- pear regularly in the weekly returns to the directors with his name against them, until they become very weari- ness to the flesh. They are written off against the profit and loss account on quarter day when the books are made up, but not before the directors know all about Mir Jones' mishap, A sue cession of losses of ten pounds each for three consecutive Saturdays has driven a teller into lunatic asylum and caused his death. But the mere ques- tion of mechanical correctness in his cash would not-in the absence of other qualifications to the promotion of teller. He must be possessed of a suave yet dignifed manner, temper not readily ruffled and be an accurate judge of the human countenance. He must be infallible in the matter of signatures. A teller has been known to detect a forgery when the man whose name was forged could not tell whether the forged signature was his own or not. He must also have an excellent memory for custome IS bal ances, and he must be fully alive 10 what is going on around him all the day long. And in London at least he must be conversant with all public and especially financial matters and with the value of stocks. While thus en- side of him which never permits itself to be forgotten, and that is the potency of the managerial eye. There is noth- ing harassing in the treatment of good bank manager, who is on the contrary usually a great support to his staff, but the air of eternal vigilance is never lost.
 MT. Jones, I'll take up your till, " is a quiet remark which the teller usually hears once a week in a we'll regulated office, but for which he must always be prepared. for it is just as possible as not that it may occur two days in succession. Mr. Jones takes no umbrage at the manager counting his cash at all sorts of odd times; it is customary, and the one fact potent to his mind is that wherever else he may get money from in his hour of necessi- ty, he must never borrow from his till, for a shortage there feven half sov- ereign would cause his suspension. II is military discipline and it is best; there is no sort of foolishness in Lon- don banking.

GENERAL VON WRIGHT.
An Englishman Who Became a FamOu
 German Cavalry Officer.

An Englishman Who Became a Famous
 German Cavalry Officer.
 In the course of conversation with the Adjutant of a dragoon regiment stationed at Metz learned that he, in company with some nine or ten brolh- CT officers, had been out on a ten days reconnaissance under the Gen eral commanding the cavalry division. The expens es of the trip came partially if not wholly out of the officers pock- cts. My friend spoke of the tour with the greatest enthusiasm, and Iwent to the General to obtain from him the de- tails of the system followed. Now, the General in question, Von Wright, an Englishman, whose memory is dear to all of us officers who made his &C., quaintance, was one of the most dis tinguished cavalry officers in the Ger man army. From Major in cuirassier regiment, he was selected by Von Moltke, although personally unknown to him, and on professional recom- mendations only, as bis military socre- tary in 1866; as commander of q cav airy regiment he led the Third army into Chalons; subsequently, during the campaign he held important staff ap- pointmels. including that of Quarter master-General to Prince Charles dur ing the trying Le Mans campaign. At the time of this particular visit to Metz he was the Lieutenant-General con- manding the Fifteenth or Frontier cavalry division, The General was al- ways pleased to talk about his pro- fession and to give any information to those who asked for it. The follow ing was his account of the recOnnois- sance: "The evening before we started Thought out scheme. At 2 a. m. the following morning met the off cers and to each I gave his days work, which he returned to me com- pleted at ? p. m. During the after noon and the evening exa mined the work. and I delivered my criticisms on it when the officers assembled next morning The fact that have been brought up in the English army must be accepted as an excuse for the blund- ering question I next addressed to him: "But, General, how many staff officers. aide-Ie-camps, Assistant Adiutant and Assistant Quartermastcr- Generals hal you to do the de- tails?" '.None." was the reply; Il did all the work myself" Here was a General of the highest professional standing and reputation-a man who has won his position by the hardest oi work in European warfare, and at one time at peace maneuvers commanded some 4, GOO to 1000 saLers-deliberate ly employing his spare time in giving to some dozen regimental officers in- struction which might fall in our army to a garrison instructor. l. seems n possible to overestimate not merely the value of such instruction. but the impetus given to professional study among the officers by Generals in Von Wright's position not considering il beneath them to become instructors, - Alastes0;h teatarV
